FT: Update FT901DE Works!
I found a wire and as advised,
I wired the Accessory plug pin 1
and pin 2 And the transmit came on and put out 120 Watts!!
Now the only problem is the receive is low and I was told by Yaesu
it sounds like the Transistor in the RF stage needs to be replaced for
receive to come up higher. Not sure how to do it and you need the
right part.
Anyway, I want to trade for a 3 KW Tuner.
MFJ/ATR Tuner etc
To see a picture of the 901 DE go to QRZ.com Or QTH.com

Dunno if the 901 is similar but I recall a friend who had suffered
with puny receive on his rig for a long time and it turned out to be a
simple fuse lamp on the input that had blown.

I had this same problem (and easy fix) on a Kenwood R-600. Only it wasn't a
soldered-in fuse lamp, but a genuine mini-fuse, such as found in VOM inputs.
